UM: Chap 39

White roses

Napuno ng tawanan ang lugar dahil sa amin.

Lalo na't kasama namin ang makulit na anak naming si Jacreio.

"Lola Selina! Eat more chicken!" pilit ni Jacreio habang tumatawa-tawa.

"I'm full na, Jacreio. You should just eat that," nakangiting sabi niya at iniharap kay Jacreio ang manok.

He pouted then looked at me before his pout was slowly replaced with a grin.

"Mommy.. the chicken is now.. flying!" sigaw niya at akmang ipapakain sa akin iyon ng biglang kagatan ni Jackson ang chicken.

"Daddy!" angil niya at sumimangot.

"Your chicken is good, Jacreio," ani Jackson at tuluyan ng kinuha ang manok mula sa kamay ng anak namin.

I laughed and stucked out my tongue to teased Jacreio.

He scoffed and went off Jackson's lap before he ran towards Daddy.

"Lolo, tayo na lang ang mag-play," narinig kong sabi ni Jacreio at umupo sa hita ni Daddy.

I smiled and just focused on my food.

I felt Jackson's hand on my thigh, slowly caressing it as he continued eating the salad on his mini bowl while I am eating another slice of pizza again.

"Are you happy that we're completed now?" tanong niya at tumingin sa akin.

I swallowed my chewed food first before I replied. "Completed?"

"Completed as a family," pagtutuloy niya.

I licked my lower lip as I put down my pizza on my plate.

"Hmm.. of course. I didn't want you to know about our son but.. the insides of me says that I still want us to be completed as a perfect.. family," I swallowed slowly and looked at the front, in the pool.

Our parents and our son are just busy conversing with each other. While Jackson and I are busy talking to each other.

Jackson leaned his head on my shoulder. "Hindi ko inakalang magiging akin ka ulit, Lissandra," he chuckled and looked down.

His hand on my thigh moved to my hand as he intertwined it and kissed the back of my hand.

I looked to it and smiled.

"Naging sa'yo pala ako dati at ngayon?" tanong ko.

I saw how a frown crept on his lips. "Of course! You were! Itatali na kita sa'kin, Lissandra. If you are planning to hide against me again, I can search for you around the world to be finally mine. You were bound to only marry me, Lissandra. Because you are mine. Sa akin lang," and he looked up to me as he reached for my lips to gave it a quick peck of a kiss.

I playfully glared at him. "Since when did you memorized that lines of yours?" asar ko sa kanya.

But he just laughed at kinagat-kagat ang kamay ko. "Three years ago, I think?" I pushed him a bit before I laughed.

It's already evening and yet, we are still here. I looked around and search for my brother.

"Did you see Kuya Liam and Yaya Olie? Mas nauna pa silang pumasok sa atin diba? Where are they?"

He looker around too but he shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know. Baka busy lang si Yaya sa kusina tapos si Liam sa taas, nagta-trabaho," sabi niya at hinalikan muli ang likod ng kamay ko.

My brows arched and stood up. He looked up at me.

"Where are you going?" Jackson asked.

"I'll just check on my brother," bibitaw na sana ako sa kanya ng hatakin niya ako pabalik sa upuan at niyakap.
